Scuola Restaurant

4.5(59 reviews)

About

Scuola Restaurant, a restaurant on Zanzibar, sits in Jambiani on the island's east coast. The setting is a village of white sand and shallow reef water, well away from the busier northern beaches.

With 59 reviews behind it, the kitchen has built a modest but steady reputation among visitors staying along the south-east shore. Tables run from 10:00 to 22:00 every day of the week, which covers breakfast through a late dinner. Jambiani, Tanzania is the address, and the village stretches along a single coastal road.

The kitchen serves the coastal cooking of Zanzibar, built on the island's own seafood, coconut and spice traditions. Stone Town, the old quarter of Zanzibar City, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site built from coral stone, and it makes a worthwhile day trip from the south-east coast.

Kiswahili is the main language of both islands, with English widely used in tourism and Arabic loanwords in everyday speech, so ordering is straightforward for visitors. Ferries and flights from Dar es Salaam serve both Zanzibar and Pemba, and light aircraft link the two islands, which helps if you plan to combine Jambiani with a northern stay.
